IKL 2010 DRAFT THREAD - Here we go!

I think I finally got it all set up at Sports.ws. I tried to keep the number consistent last time and in trying to skip picks, the software got confused, forcing a reset. As long as the roster and order are accurate, we shouldn't have a problem. Thanks everyone for your infinite patience and understanding!

Hi everyone!

I still have one last 9-man roster that needs to get in, so I'm giving everyone one last chance to make adjustments to their protected lists before the final version is posted tomorrow.

We will be drafting on right here is this draft thread. Any player that has been drafted by an NBA team, has played in an NBA game, is in a training camp or has signed an NBA contract is eligible to be drafted. You may not draft a protected player or a player who is not an NBA player (NO NCAA FRESHMEN).

To balance the need for everyone to sort through their choices AND the need to move things along, we'll be starting the draft immediately after the protected list deadline - but don't worry - there will be no clock through the weekend. Starting Monday, we'll begin a 24-hour clock. That means that if an owner has stalled the draft for 24 hours, that person will be skipped until they return, at which point they can select from the remaining available players. As long as everyone is checking in to PD once a day or so, we should get through the draft in no time.

If we aren't done before Sunday, October 17th at 12:00 noon eastern time, the draft clock will go to a 5-minute clock. So whatever draft picks are left will need to be tied up on Sunday the 17th. At the end of the draft on Sunday night, I will load up all rosters onto Sports.ws. When that's done, I'll say "GO" - the season will begin and you can drop and add players directly on Sports.ws.

If you are going to be gone throughout the week, please don't hesitate to give me a contingency list of your top prospects. I'll be more than happy to announce your pick for you based on who is available on your list and keep things moving.

In the mean time, here's the current draft order and a preliminary protected list. You have 24 hours to make changes before it gets locked in and the draft gets under way.

Re: IKL 2010 DRAFT THREAD - Here we go!

Well, the protected list deadline was midnight last night and the last issue (other than the request to load up teams on sports.ws) was the expansion teams' released players issue. That vote has been turned down by the league.

Ladies and gentlemen, the draft has begun. Good Luck to everyone!

Re: IKL 2010 DRAFT THREAD - Here we go!

I figured you take him Mourning, if I had thought he was going to drop to the 4th pick I probably wouldn't have traded it.

Couple of weeks ago I would have taken Favors without much hesitation and since he will be playing CF he would give me a bit more flexibility compared to a pure C. But, Cousins has been really impressive the past week and sometimes you just have to go with what you see and change your original intent.
